Have a positive attitude while recording your voicemail greeting — it will carry through in your voice. If you find it difficult to convey positivity over a phone system, try smiling while you’re recording. (We promise, you will hear a difference.)
6. Prove your attentiveness to voicemail: “Good morning. You’ve reached the voicemail of [your name]. Today is [date]. Please leave me a message with your name and contact information.
Certain times of day are better than others to connect with prospects. For example, statistics show sales reps connect the most with prospects between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm at a 17% connection rate.
Oh lord…is it you…again? Well, if you must, leave a name and number after the beep. I’ll try to return the call, if I can stand it, that is.
Instead of sticking to the usual, be creative. Your voicemail can be used as an opportunity to make your brand stand out, so make sure to include a catchphrase or something that grabs the caller's attention. For instance, you can mention deals you’re currently offering or incorporate fun facts into your message.
• Hi, this is XYZ, I’m either away from my desk or on another call. Please leave your name and number. I will call you soon.
On Air Recordings recommends you order professional voicemail greetings through their site, then describe the tone, approach, or voice direction you’re going for.
The basic rule of thumb is that callers should hear one of two things when they first connect with your voicemail — either an apology for not being able to answer the call or a “thank you” for having called. You can do both if you prefer, but keep it short and to the point.
Take the time to make your voice mail greeting sound perfect. Give callers a positive impression. Then be as responsive as you can be to messages that are left for you.

Knowing what you’re going to say and how you’re going to say it before hopping on the phone is key to getting calls back.
You don’t need to say why you can’t answer or where you might be, you simply need to say your full name, that you are sorry you can’t come to the phone, and that you will get back to them as soon as you can.
